Portraits of Henry Ford with Edsel Ford, 1902
Add to SetSummary
Edsel Bryant Ford, only child of Henry Ford and Clara Bryant Ford, was born November 6, 1893. Here eight-year-old Edsel poses with his father in a series of studio portraits. Perhaps not surprisingly, young Edsel was obsessed with automobiles. By age ten he could drive a Model A, the first car built by his father's Ford Motor Company.
